Coach Speak: What the Bengals did to beat the Steelers

On this podcast, I look at what the Bengals did to pull off the win against the Steelers and what could have potentially hurt them.

Here’s the run down:

• The moment the Bengals won the game and how it reminded me of A Bronx Tale
• Why do you defer the coin toss? Because if you play it right, it’s like getting a turnover.
• The defense was mostly exceptional, but there was a moment that had shades of 2020. How did the offense respond to that defensive let down?
• The offense stalled late in the game, going three-and-out on each of their last three possessions. They failed to build the lead, and they failed to kill the clock. How did the defense respond to the offense’s struggles?
• Bend but don’t break defense. When and why to run it?
• Are third down stops overrated?
